Wldo spread Interest attended tho opening ot tho legislature of tho Provlnco ot Ontnrlo hero yesterday In view of tho fact that tho how assembly Is a preponderantly 'farm and labor" government, committed to public ownership or control ot railways and water transportation, telephone, tolo grnph nn doxpress systems and pro jects for tho dovolopmont of national power nnd tho coal mining Industry. Ontario, which has led politically In tho movomont ot tho farmors to governmental power, is not so much ot nn agricultural provlnco, relative ly speaking, as tho great grain-growing provinces of Alberta and Saskat chewan, where tho old-line Liberals nro Btlll In power. It is on tho con trary, much of a manufacturing region. Notwithstanding this, the United Fnrmors of Ontario won 45 of tho 111 seats at tho general elec tions on October 30 and by coalition with 11 labor mombors, tho agricul turists obtained a Bllm majority to control tho legislature. Tho cabinet of Promlor Drury Is composed of eight farmors, two laborltcs and ono Inwyor thoro had" to bo ono lawyer for tho attorney generalship. Tho dovolopmont of tho farmers' political organization has proceeded Btoadlly Blnco 1914 when a small group mot In a fnrm Iioubo near Tor onto nnd orgnnlzod tho. First Farm ers Co-operative Society. It was an nounced that tho organization would confine Itself to commercial Intor- prlscs but It soon becamo a political factor. Tho farmers' platform) approves the League of Nations and favors' tho "development ot the British Empire along the lines of partnership toe twocn nations free and canal." It urges the reduction ot Canada's hugo national debt by development of hor "natural resources." It also denounces tho protective tariff as "tho most wasteful and costly meth od ovor designed to raising public rovonuo," adding that ''Great Brit ain's financial strength during tho wnr was duo to hor froo trndo policy which enabled hor to draw hor sup plies freoly from ovory quartor of tho globo and consequently to under soil hor competitors In the world's market." It also recommends tho acceptance of tho Reciprocity Treaty offered to Canada by tho United States In 1911. In addition tho platform alms to set In motion a basis of commerce which, In five yoars, would result In "com plete froo trado with Great Britain.

MUR '5 MAPLE "BUSH n WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 Tho sug ar nhortago and tho approach of "sugar weather" lead Department of Agriculturo experts to mako tho statement that many thousands of American farmers throughout a re gion comprising more than a scoro of states, In the eastern and north eastern part of tho United States, ar overlooking opportunities to secure maple sugar and sirup for homo uso, as wcil as for sale, at very little cost. Whllo Americans commonly think of the maple sugar Industry as con fined largely to circumscribed areas In Now England and Now York, thoro are, as a matter of fact, many potential "sugar bushes" In tho re gion extending as far south as North Carolina and Tonncsseo and west ward to northern Missouri, Iowa and Mlnnesqta. as well as In Washington and Oregon. In a good season a trco 15 inches In dlametor will yield suf ficient sap to mako from ono to six quarts of sirup, which In turn can bo concentrated Into two to ten pounds of sugar. Discovery was mado by govern ment Investigators ot many groves of sugar maples in North Carolina, one of which Is probably larger than any now to bo found In New Eng land. Tho owners being unaware of the -valuo of tho trees from the maplo-sugar standpoint, had' begun cutting them for lumber at an aver age return of less than $1.00 a tree. Last season, upon suggestion of gov ernment experts', these groves wero tapped and yielded sirup that sold for 4.00 a gallon. Revelation of the potential value of the groves induc ed the owners to plan more ,exten slve operations for this spring. This year's flow of 'sap is expected by experts to be more satisfactory than last year. The maple sugar and sirup Industry Is distinctly American and offers good commercial oppor tunities, government experts (say, for thoso who engage in it systemati cally, as the demand for both sirup and sugar Is far beyond tho supply.
